Even if you wanted to go specifically about electronic hacks, there were electronic warfare officers flying in bombers since possibly WW2? Definitely soon after, my wife's grandfather had that role in Vietnam

For people who want to explore this potential future I recommend Neal Stephenson's Termination Shock as a near future sci fi read. Not saying it will happen like that but he brings up some interesting potential cause and effect

Oh, people hit that level all the time indoors. One person sleeping in a bedroom with a closed door overnight reaches high CO2 levels. A classroom of students are swimming in it.

I like some TE gear. But it would be an omission if we didn't also include the fact that TE hardware often has weird flaws like OPz cases never fit together properly even years after release and the more recent problems with shipping t

Which includes all classic valve games like portal and half life, as they were never updated to 64 bit. If you bought those for OSX this is the end of the line for being able to play those games on that platform. Not posted to incite rage,

I see lots of criticism in this thread and elsewhere about that carbon removed stat. I would love to see more productive criticism, where people make suggestions on how they could do it better, instead of just criticizing a company of this

No no, I figured that out afterwards, in a past development iteration someone added it on purpose and then forgot all about it - "oh yeah we needed that to <solve some mundane problem>". So... worse than subterfuge? That be

oh, yeah, this place was a total shit show. BUT we were ISO9001 certified!! So we had source control (CVS) and a Process (with a capital P) to follow. In this case that code was added in a previous development iteration because someone ne

I used to work for a company that built satellite receivers that would be installed in all sorts of weird remote environments in order to pull radio or tv from satellite and rebroadcast locally. If we pushed a broken update it might mean so

Sad no major platform implemented step two of the DMCA process as it was written in law (as far as I remember): The subject of the DMCA takedown can appeal and then the original filer has a time period where they can escalate to a court cas

I mean, you could, but that would get really gross when implementing certain scales that are nowhere similar to the MIDI tuning (like working out the fractions for a 13-note scale)

by gravitronic 3y ago
At this layer of note information, fact is the data will be either sent to a MIDI device or a plugin as a MIDI event, so you might as well keep it in the native format and not convert to a frequency.

There's other significant issues, such as concrete. Read Bill Gates' "how to avoid a climate disaster" for a complete rundown, with receipts.
